Manual trim mounting bracket..

[Tram]

Hey guys-

Is this part of the -7 kit? We have a -6 with the vertical support with our throttle/mixture/etc mounted on it and are contemplating removing this, however, we will have to mount our trim knob somewhere and it looks like this has been addressed in the -7. Just wondering if we can pick up the part from Van's.

Thanks

Jeff

A search of Vans webstore shows this part:

MANUAL TRIM PLATE
F-8119A

But to be fair, it's just a bent piece of AL with some holes drilled in it and also holds the fuel valve.

Thanks for the heads up..

Being that we didn't build our 6, we are not "shop equipped" to be manufacturing many pieces that would be "naturally easy" for he who built his aircraft.. I'd have to go buy the aluminum, then have it cut to shape, then bend/drill/etc.. It's much easier with the limited resources on hand to just order the $8.00 piece.

make sure it's the piece you need first.
